Batman: Sins of the Father by Christos Gage
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I did not think I would but I really did like this book. Not the Batman I am used to used to. Actually it pretty much was the Batman and Gotham City I was used to the difference was in the Wayne family. Thomas Wayne was not the pillar of Gotham he was portrayed to be. In this world he was more of a monster then the people Bruce has dedicated his life to taking down.
I did not like the art work, but it grew on me as the story progressed. The story was actually well done. The only think I really did not like was Bruce Wayne could not have made it more obvious that he was Batman. This was on the same level as Clark and his glasses as a disguise as Superman. That is the only reason I took away a star.
In this story Batman was done spot on. His planning, precision and his dedication to justice. I even liked the way Bruce was continually trying to make amends for his father. Now he is faced with his dark reflection.
An awesome story of breaking the cycle. With a couple of silly mistakes otherwise it would have been perfect.
